"...The Dead will perform on "The Late Show With David Letterman" on Thursday, April 23. Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and touring guitarist Warren Haynes will be interviewed and perform acoustically on “The View," Monday, March 30. Complete tour dates available here."

I wonder whose wife talked them into this one.

Letterman I can understand, but The View? Wasn't aware that show pulled alot of the aged hippie demographic.

I had to move this to this thread...from the email thread...I am shocked by how offended I am about the idea of a View appearance....

The View appearance is more than selling out...its reaching for a buck in a culturally abhorrent setting that indicates these guys are either now oblivious or have just really become really willing to degrade themselves in any manner. Walters is so offensively inane that I would expect whatever shred of intellect the band might still have to have balked at that one.

They can only redeem themselves on that show if the fat one takes a hairy shit on the coffee table and someone tries go go down on Joy Behar on the couch...

Hey!? We're working our butts off here to give you some small glimmer of hope...an opportunity for a break from your angst ridden (?) workday.

So, give us our due; where else can you read about your favorite post 79, pre Brent singing only on a Saturday night best song under four minutes long poll? Inquiring minds want to know, and we provide analysis of each and every conceivable angle of the entire DEAD experience, and then some. Not to mention the benefits, entirely unexpected, of the behavior of wives and children which might in some small way better prepare you to cope with yours...

Uses: generally NOT appropriate for Dire's Shorts (rather, that is more typically termed a "de-stimulus", according to various females of various tetrapod lineages). Most often used in conjunction with "Miller Upgrade" or "Miss D" or "William Tell is looking for one" or etc., etc., etc.

But somehow, I'm really not surprised..."The View" seems to me like exactly the sort of show this band belongs on nowadays...a nice, safe venue to perform for weekend hippies taking their morning Starbuck's break before heading back to the office...(and I honestly don't mean that in a derogatory way- it is what it is). These geezers are about as anti-establishment as Wal-Mart.

No anger - I can accept a serious ass whuppin'. I thought we had a shot going into second half because we had been seriously outplayed and were only down a possession and thought the shots would fall. Not our night - and all credit due to Nova.

Then again, Duke should really fire their coach. The game is passing that guy by.

I don't follow them, BD, and of course, only out of respect for you do I even check the scores, and couldn't give you 2 cents worth of analysis on Coach K...were you tongue in cheek, or do you really think so?
